If you told the people your sub model and stuff and they told you 32, I dunno what to say. 32 isnt neccesarily horrible, but most SPL I see is much higher.

If you arent hellbent on ported, have you looked at bandpass?

Alright guy's i went and did some Pricing Turn's out Lowe's and home Depot sell MDF same price $20.96 here's the size of the sheet you get 49"x97" 3/4"thick.

Here are the dimension's of my trunk i got

Width across: 33" 1/4

Length up and down: 28" 1/4

Clearance with my trunk half closed : Around 24" 1/4

Any suggestion's on tuning the box would help alot. Here's the setup im working with

Two 12" Pioneer TS-W306DVC Subwoofers

DigitalAudio Monoblock DAB1800x Amp.

Should i make it a dual vent right in the middle or just one vent on either side would it matter?

fiberglass the wheel well, fire the subs inside the car, use aeroports (also firing inside the car), tune to 40. just my 2 pennys

Sadly i actually do not have a wheel well my extra spare is kept on the side of the left hand of the wall in the trunk .

Ok... chill out.
Its called a forum, not an instant messenger, for a simple reason. Because its a forum, not an instant messenger. You cant always expect instant responses.

MDF.

SPL is good to tune at around 50-60 (57/58 is common)depending on a lot of factors though.

Doesnt matter at all. I would personally use one port.

you have no idea what your talking about do you?

Yeah Ska i don't plan on listening to him none of that seemed right haha. but what you guy's think build a one side vented box for those sub's tuned to 32hz? if so can someone make me a sketchup sheet i tried to figure it out on the Re calculator but im really bad at measurements.

so will the woofers be firing into the cabin of the car? Or will they be sealed off from the cabin? If its sealed from the cabin I would go 36-37hz. if firing into the cabin go like 33-34hz

 

[audiobahnuser18 5,000+ posts]

Ska the sub's would be firing toward's the back of the car.

 

[skadude016 5,000+ posts]

so ya tune to like 36-38hz. do like 4 cubes 60-70 sq. inches of port

 

[audiobahnuser18 5,000+ posts]
